Urbanity, Part I: Antimatter
For more than two years, I've been wandering the streets of Tel-Aviv with a camera -- trying to capture fragments of urban life and scenery. During one of my walks, I came by a flower.
It was a simple graffiti flower drawn on a wall as if it was placed on a street bench. The way this flower -- a figment of someone's imagination -- was so naturally placed in the real world, drew me to a different world. A world in which matter and antimatter blend to create stories.
During the months that followed I collected more stories created on the border line of two parallel universes. Together, they form a bigger story. A story told by a city.

From Urbanity, Part I: Antimatter
When I finished working on Antimatter I thought of it as the ending of a story, and yet I named it Urbanity, Part I. I had a feeling the story has to continue -- as if it is out there in the urban streets, waiting to be discovered.
For months I have struggled with the question how the story should continue, but I found nothing but dead ends. At the same time, visual fragments started to find their way into my Urbanity folder. I had no idea what they mean or what story they are trying to tell me.
It was only when I found the last fragment that all the pieces suddenly aligned in place and the story revealed itself. It was indeed the continuation of the story I thought ended exactly one year before.
